Well while I was sitting on the side of the road trying to get my motor to get some power and quit stalling I found that the vac line from the pump to the IP is very cracked. So once I get the IP rebuild I will replace that I hopefully I won't have a problem.

Update: Well she ran fine all the way up here at 65mph and got about 25mpg! I was very pleased, however on the way to the ski area the next day it ran fine for the first few miles and then began to loose power and stalled all within about 3 min. Now she wont run for more than about 30sec and the...

Is the 13 ok to use or should I go with a 15lbs. I haven't had any problems I was just curious.

What pressure is the m1009 radiator cap supposed to be? Mine is a 13lbs cap and i cant find it mentioned in the -20 tm.

I'm thinking maybe the pink wire on you ip (fuel cutoff solenoid) is shorting on the headlights. Although it is kinda cool be be able to lock it in park and go into a store with it running.

Also ragedracer did you have any trouble with the altitude up there?

I'm heading from Tucson to Greer for some skiing at Sunrise. I guess I will keep it around 65-70.

What an adventure :-D, but glad to see it all worked out.

I have turned that screw out a bunch, but I will see if it will go further. Is there something I can adjust on the IP as well? It also seems to start in second occasionally is there a reason for that. I think it was doing that before the recasing as well.

Thanks, ya this was my first time ever opening a transmission so I was getting a little nervous when it seemed to not be shifting. I though I may have put something in wrong. Thanks Again, Miles

How can I tell what the best fast highway cruising speed for my m1009 is? I am planning on taking it to the mountains this week (200 MI) and I want to get there in a reasonable time, but I haven't driven many diesels and have a hard time judging rpms based on engine sounds. What is the best way...

Where can you buy that tan paint mine is the tan color and could use a touch up. What did you use to put the numbers on with? I would like to add some numbering and lettering to my truck.

well I'm dumb it turned out to just be a broken vacuum line to the modulator. I put a new modulator and hose in and now it shifts around 25 and 40-45. Thanks for the help, Miles

Vacuum at modulator =OK Modulator valve =Free Governor=Free, gear good, and weights move I will pull the pan in the next couple days and check it. Also how do I check the year of the tranny (it was a rebuilt one and I have no idea what year, but I used the earlier than 87 VB gasket because the...

Neutral makes it easy as pie to go into any range. Also helps if you are moving VERY SLOWLY.

I think he is saying to get the light to go off the motor needs to be revved. Mine is going the same thing (except it is gen 2) and my alts are good.

Hey I just re-cased the tranny in my m1009 and everything went smoothly. I reinstalled it and filled her up. I put it in drive and reverse about 15 times untill it was shifting into gear strong and went for a test drive. Now it doesn't leave 1st gear unless I shift from drive to second give it...

Anybody got pics of an m1009 with a 4" lift and 33's I have 35, but when they wear out I was thinking about getting 33's as they are easier on the 10 bolts.

Yes pm me with what you are asking for an antenna mount. Thanks, Miles

Wow, I cant believe I didn't try that.:oops: Thanks!
